Creative Friends

I move in a community of writers and illustrators and editors. These are my good friends who serve as encouragers, mentors, and fellow artists. I carry our conversations about art, words, and books with me always. As I move ahead into new projects and a new landscape of publishing, I know that I'm on a terrific team.
